What color should I paint my skidplate? It's just the stock one, but I feel like painting it. My truck is dark green and all the trim is black. I don't have a lift, so although i want to do a red or something liek that, it might look like i'm a poser since it's just a stock skid and not even lifted. I'm leaning towards black, that way i'll get rust protection without the bling. What do you think?

Black, Red, Yellow, Purple, Tangerine-mango, gold, platinum...???

I think it would make your truck look cheap to go with any bright (red/yellow/etc.) colors. I'd stay dark and discreet.

I just painted mine black last week.
Looks el sexo.

I posted this last year when I had my stock one off. I was dying to paint it bright yellow. "Data" set me straight on that one...

kford

cebby- so you stuck with black?

Scofco

Why would you want to draw attention to your skidplate instead of your truck?
IMO a colored skidplate would look embarassing.

kford

embarassing, especially if it was red. It would literally be blushing.

God that was lame.

Anyway I think I have pretty much decided on black, simply because anything else would be a poser-move, especially w/ no lift or any other really impressive off road enhancements like an ARB w/ winch, missile launchers, etc.

I don't think that's a poser thing, i just think it's tacky. You're not pretending you have something you don't. I think poser is putting a lift and big tires on a 2wd. Totally useless except for image, IMO, and wastes gas and other resources.

Mad Chemist

Depends if you're afraid of looking fat or "phat." Stick with black...

Vato Loco

Stick with black!

Cebby

Yep, mine stayed black. I looked at it from a practical standpoint in the end. What would look better, black that conceals stone chips and is easy to touch up, or a light color that would be two tone before long with a mixture of paint and oxidation.

i say paint it pink, or tie die. DO something noone else has done.

Designsbyme

HAHA, I love the title of your thread. Stick with black... Anything else would be tacky.

newheeler

If you have to paint it, paint it black. Anything else would be a huge mistake, IMO.

Black is slimming

You'll gain 20 horsepower by doing this. No kidding.

i vote for salmon, or maybe cornflower blue, and then add a bright yellow type R sticker on it. oooooohh... and then some of those off-road spinners. You will be bling-a-liscious
